The princes were like frightened birds, trembling with fear and not daring to have the slightest improper thought.

They are well aware that under the current situation, if they are not careful, they might fall into an abyss from which there is no escape, and end up with a tragic fate of death and annihilation of their clan.

Therefore, they were walking on thin ice and had to be cautious and careful in doing everything as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They must not give Su Qingjue any handle to avoid being liquidated.

Only in this way can they have the opportunity to return to their own territory safely and spend their old age in peace and contentment...

"Alas..." The King of Chu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This is just the beginning. The days ahead will be difficult!"

Although Ma Yin is old, he has a clear mind and a heart as clear as a mirror.

He understood the general's mind and knew that he was hoping that these princes would make mistakes so that he could take the opportunity to deal with them.

As a member of the warlords of the feudal lords and also the target who is about to be "dealt with", Ma Yin actually understands Su Qingjue's approach.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was about to fall.

The root cause of the Tang Dynasty's fall was that these feudal lords held their own troops, which made the central royal family weak and gave Zhu Wen the opportunity to kill the emperor and usurp power. For Su Qingjue, who was determined to establish a new dynasty, this risk must be nipped in the bud.

Ma Yin's guess coincided with Su Qingjue's idea.

Su Qingjue originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for the Longquan treasure and get rid of all these princes in the chaos.

But he did not expect that this group of princes would be so sincere. When they saw that the situation was not good, they just bowed down and some of them even wanted to recognize him as their godfather, leaving him no excuse to deal with them.

but.

There will be many more opportunities like this in the future. He will continue to set traps for these princes. As long as they dare to make mistakes, he will have legitimate reasons to get rid of them.

Of course, if they can know their limits in this life and not cross the line, then Su Qingjue is not without tolerance and can allow them to spend their old age in peace.

Conquer the world with tyranny and win people's hearts with benevolence!

Now, all the forces in the Central Plains have surrendered. What Su Qingjue needs to consider next is how to win the hearts of the people of the world.

These princes have been entrenched in the local area for a long time and have more or less a certain weight in the hearts of the people, just like when he first took over the State of Qi, the people of Qi had a good impression of Li Maozhen.

If he killed these princes without distinguishing right from wrong and without any reason, he would certainly leave the image of a cruel, bloody and incompetent monarch in the eyes of the people everywhere.

This goes against his original intention.

Therefore, it is better to use a slightly gentler approach to deal with these princes.

For example... learn from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's story of giving up military power over a cup of wine.

In this way, I believe these princes would not dare to refuse.

"..."

After receiving the task, the princes immediately led the masters they brought with them and began to move the treasures in the palace out in an orderly manner.

Shadow and Blood Kill, the two ace organizations in Su Qingjue's hands, as well as some bad guys, stood aside to supervise and prevent those masters from taking the opportunity to hide the goods.

Su Qingjue led the others and walked directly towards the exit.

When he was about to reach the exit, he suddenly felt a stronger aura outside.

It’s Li Siyuan!

Su Qingjue instantly recognized the specific identity of the person outside.

"It seems that Li Siyuan has had some wonderful experiences recently. He has been able to reach such a high level in such a short period of time..."

Su Qingjue's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Zhang Zifan: "Brother Zhang, I know you and Li Siyuan have a grudge, but please calm down later."

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan's expression froze.

However, he quickly realized that since the general said so, it seemed that Li Siyuan was outside the exit.

As for asking him to calm down...he wouldn't be so stupid as to run to Li Siyuan for revenge.

There is no rush for revenge, and with his current strength, he is still a long way to go to get revenge.

Zhang Zifan clasped his hands and said, "General, please rest assured that I will never act rashly."

"Yeah." Su Qingjue nodded.

He had promised to help Zhang Zifan get revenge, so he specifically reminded Zhang Zifan.

In fact, for Su Qingjue, killing Li Siyuan was a piece of cake. Even though Li Siyuan's current strength had made an essential leap, it was only a matter of using a few more moves.

But...the living Li Siyuan is more valuable than the dead Li Siyuan.

In fact, he already had a plan in his mind when Su Qingjue killed Li Keyong.

At the beginning, he could clearly take over Jin State for himself, but he still gave it to Li Siyuan. In fact, he had other plans.

The State of Jin borders Mobei, which is a natural barrier that can keep Mobei out.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Su Qingjue is afraid of Mobei.

He must go to Mobei to fight.

However, now is not a good time to send troops.

The Central Plains has experienced so many years of war, the people have long been suffering, and the population is at a low point. If we send troops now, it will only bring greater suffering to the people. Even if we win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

Therefore, we must give the Central Plains time to recover.

Moreover, Duo Kuo Huo is extremely mysterious and powerful, and Su Qingjue doesn't dare to say that he can defeat her now, so he personally also needs time to become stronger.

At times like this, Li Siyuan came in handy.

His current situation can be said to be very delicate.

As long as Su Qingjue puts more pressure on him and makes him feel the threat of death, I believe that with his suspicious and cautious character, he will definitely make multiple preparations.

But his Jin State was located between the Central Plains and Mobei, and Li Siyuan was also trying to survive in the cracks.

He wanted to protect himself, but what else could he do except completely submit to Su Qingjue?

The only way out is to collude with Mobei.

By then, Su Qingjue could take advantage of Li Siyuan's weakness and find a way to set a trap for Mobei.

This is to delay the time for the Mobei army to move south.

"..."

When Li Siyuan saw someone coming out of the entrance, he immediately put on a respectful attitude, walked over quickly and said loudly:

"The little prince greets the great general!"

"Congratulations to the general for obtaining the Longquan treasure. He will soon be able to conquer the world!"

Su Qingjue smiled coldly and said, "Li Siyuan, I didn't expect that you have made some progress in strength after not seeing you for a few days!"

"Why, do you also want to fight for the Longquan treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan immediately acted in a state of fear and trepidation, and said respectfully: "I dare not. With the general here, the Longquan treasure has already been owned by someone..."

"Humph!"

Su Qingjue snorted coldly, her eyes were sharp, like a knife piercing Li Siyuan's heart.

"I asked you to rebuild the Jin Kingdom before. How is it going?"

"Reporting to the general, I have lived up to your trust and have managed the State of Jin in an orderly manner..."

"In this case, hand over Jin."

"This..." Li Siyuan's eyes were uncertain, "General, you don't know that the people of Jin are in decline and need time to recover. Please give me some more time, General."

"People's livelihood is declining?"

"There are not even beggars on the streets of your Jin State, and people's livelihood is indeed in decline..."

Su Qingjue looked dissatisfied.

He discovered this phenomenon when he passed through several towns in Jin State.

He didn't know the reason at that time, but now, combined with Li Siyuan's rapid improvement in strength, he has basically guessed it.

"laugh!"

Su Qingjue sneered, then ignored Li Siyuan and led his men past him.

Li Siyuan narrowed his eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Did he find out?"
